Here we go again!
difficult child 1 skipped lunch again today and lied about it. I'm at the point where I feel like maybe I just shouldn't ask anymore because maybe it's putting too much pressure on him.
But the problem with that is that his mood is affected, his focus and attention are affected, his school work is affected, his health is affected -- so many things depend on him eating.
His excuse today was that he was in the bathroom most of break and lunch. I don't know whether to believe him or not. It could very easily be another lie. And it could be the truth, or even a partial truth.
Sometimes he just isn't hungry because of his ADHD medications and he's not someone who will eat if even if he's not hungry.
I didn't send lunch with him today because he didn't like what I sent yesterday and I need to go grocery shopping. 1/2 way to school, I realized I didn't have my wallet, so I told him I'd leave money in the office for him and to go there to get it at break. I reminded him AGAIN when he got out of the car and he acknowledged it. I dropped an envelope off around 10am, well before his morning break. So yeah, part of me is also annoyed that my efforts went for naught.
And it looks like he's been picking at the skin on his knees again.
Ugh.
